notice wan sent to England, In common
with other countries included in the pro.
posed tour that Queen tkapiolani would
visit Victoria no attention whatever was
paid to 1t, but during the past week the
situation changed very greatly. U
The officials Of the British legation OBJ
served what was going on and how great
ly pleaaed were the Queen and her friends

cable was brought into requisitiou. It Is
not doubted that the cablegrsm stating
that her Majesty Q1een Victoria, felt oh,

Tould, in accordance with the ancient
custom, set apart time for the proposed
visit, ETC., was suggested from this side Of
the water, or TO be more explicit, from
the British legation in this city. Itbegins
to look as though England ia engaged in
sharp game OF diplomacy. 1t is apparent
to thinking statesmen that the Hawiian
Kingdom must sooner or later fall under
tho sway ofsome greater power. Its pop.

rapidly dying out.
Possibly England will make bid for

aud it becomes question whether or not
the United States will stand idly by and
gee England walk OF with the prize. 1t
is suggeated that the United States Gov.
ernment will have to show its teeth, and
that If it does not European powers would
dare to DEFY It's command to keeps
hands od," and yet 1t is doubted II the
United States Government will have the
courage to do that thing. It has released
the Canadian Healers which had been seiz.
cd for alleged depredstions upon tho seals
OF Alaska, though refusing the same priv.
ilege to the San Diego, an Amer;-
can vessel, and now then, not to
seem in tho light Of the wholly
backing down in the face OF the British
demand respecting the seizure, it has or
dered modification OF the instructions
given to United States revenue cutters in
Alaskan waters, and there will be no
more vessels detained. II there should
turn out to be any movement on the part
OF Crest Britain to get control OF the
Hawiian Islands, though she formerly
iloated her tlsg over them. it will un-
doubtedly rorse strong fseling OF oppc-
Dition all over this country. 1t ia felt in
Washington that the Government should
take stand against further encroachment
by any European power upon the soil Of
North America and islands lying adjacent
thereto.

were conscious hours after the explosion.
Some may have survived longer.
All the bodies were found in No. ! level.
The men had come So far as the half way

ing the delay Of the Board Of Public
Works in commencing the seasons i'm.
pyoyements. It would not be surprising
II there was more delay and more impa.
,ient inquiry. Council committed the
work Of the Board to three men in whom
twas supposed to have confidence, and
then precseded to ito them up. The fun.
damensal mistake was inherited from the
previous Council, which practically made
the Board Superintendent to do tho will
Of Council, virtually return to the old
aud bad system which had borne an
abundance Of evil fruit at great cost.
secondsrily it was. a mistake to require
Of the Board impossible things. Having
gone carefully over the work ordered by
Council, the cost is found TO be in excess
Of the money appropriated. Here come
in the restraining ordinance and the
bonded liability OF the members Of the
Board, and it would be very strange if
they were willing to lay themselves open
to all the consequences. 1t happens that
Council has composed the Board OF men
Of very strong character, and from what
We know of them it is very doubtful
whether they will be willing to continue
in the anomalous position Of responsibility
without power.
Either these men are fit to perform the
duties which the Board Of Public Works
was originally intended to perform, or
they are not. II Council has as much
confidence in them as it had when it
chose them, what is the reason that they
cannot be permitted to use the available
money for the beat interests Of the city?
We do not doubt that Council desires to
do what is right. BY this time the mis-
take Of the recent ordinance must be ap-
parent to some who supported it. Let US
have freah start, a better feeling and an
immediate beginning Of much needed
improvements in sewers and paving.
Council cannot do better thing at its
meeting tonight than to take hold Of this
business in earnest, and in good spirit,
and unite the Boards hands.

Railroads and Water Competition iu NIchl.
gan-SectiOu 4.
WASHINGTON, May Gin response to @
letter from Secretary Mosely Of the Inter.
State Commerce Commission, asking fol
information as to the necessity Tor grant
ing certain railroads in tho State OF Michi.
gan relief from the operation Of section
4 Of the Interstate Commerce law in
order that they might be able to meet
water competition at certain points, Deputy
Railroad Commissioner Ransom, OF Mich
igan, writes:
"Heretoforc there has seemed to be but
little active competition between the rail
road companies and the vessel interests
during the season OF navigation. The lat.
ter having generally fixed the rates and
the railroads come to them il they obtain.
ed any traffic. Whether there has been
anything in it besides the increased vol
ume OF tonpsgs to the credit OF the general
freight agents is very doubtful. The in.
ter state traffic from water points in Mich
igsn is limited largely to forest products
and salt on the lower peninsula, and to
forest and mineral products in the upper.
Wherever these products can find ship
ping points by water, the.vessel rates will
take the larger portion OF the business in
all cases, when tho railroad companies
are compelled to MAINTAIN rates based up.
on tho hsul clause Of the inter slnte set.
Under these conditions, the vessel ra,e
would bs just enough lower than tho rate
by rail to prevent the company taking any
portion OF the traffic, bit still largely above
what the rate would be, were the haul
clauses Suspended at lake points, tho rail
road companies placed in position to
compete for share OF the traffic success
fully.
1t is evident think, that the companiet
do not intend reducing local rates for the
purpose OF enabling them 10 do through
business in competition with water trans.
portation. II therefore you suspend the
operation Of the "lopg haul" rule at lake
points, I cannot see how such action
would do inside loca! points al injustice,
and it would certainly give the shippers
at lake competing points a far better rate
than they could secure were the vessela
given practical monopoly Of the trade
by strict application Of the rulo.
In the general interest Of our people,
would say, suspend the rule during the
season Of navigation and enforce it while
navigation is closed. Did the question
only involve the carriage OF freight in
transit through our State from outside
points, We should not favor the suspen.
sion Of the rule in favor OF the railroad
companies, but in the interest Of our coast.
wise trade we think the iron clad applica.
ton OF the law should be waived during
the season OF navigation"
